Our tale revolves around the eponymous Ruxx, a young woman juggling a high-pressure job amidst the pulsating urban rhythms of Romania's capital. Caught in the whirlwind of familial and romantic turbulence, Ruxx's life is anything but mundane. Her sister’s tumultuous journey intertwines with her own, as does her lover’s heated narrative. The tension escalates as she grapples with the simmering crises threatening her formidable boss's most ambitious venture: his spouse's mayoral campaign for Bucharest and the explosive tantrums of his alienated daughter.
